Agree 100% Pairc Sean was a disgrace at the weekend. The only problem with Ballinamore is there is no parking around the pitch or the town in general. A bit like 90% of pitches in the county.

It will be very expensive.
I heard something about a grant from Croke Park.
It will need further fundraising by the CB

The pitch and the weather ruined both games.
Is there plans in place to compltely resurface Pairc Sean? I heard that there was along with installing floodlights. Would be brilliant if they could get this done ASAP. County Board probably need to be more proactive in highlighting future projects etc. Even just for morale.
Once again Fenagh will be kicking themselves. game was there to be won and they couldn't get it done once again. Same old failings. Ryan O'Rourke was brilliant but the rest of them were just okay.
Whats more frustrating for them is that outside of Keith Beirne and Jordan Reynolds (in spurts) Mohill didn't really turn up. Some times the top 2 inches in the minutes that matter are what counts and Fenagh don't just seem to have that mental capacity in big games. Be a long winter for them.
The second game was practically a wash out.
St Mary's looked by far the better team throughout and only for a complete fluke of a goal that kept SOH in the game in the first half and a Gael Force wind at their backs in the second half SOH looked like an average team outside of Shane Moran.
Would expect St Marys to win the final comfortably enough. They really look to be building something.
Just as an a side: The standard of goalkeeping on display from all four teams yesterday was shocking. It's now one of the most focused on areas in every team and every training yet all four teams really struggled in this area. Same goes with our Inter-County team. Really poor compared to other counties. They say young Gaffey for St Marys is the best in the County but its strange when he can't get onto his own club team?

Parking is an issue in drumshanbo, but probably as much if no a bit more spaces than b'more, i usually park in carpark at school, once during the summer when there was a big crowd i parked at the church, you can walk around church and come out at side of school, less than a 2 minute walk. You watch any other club games around the country over weekend, none had to be player on a pitch like pairc sean, it is a shambles

Lots to be said about teams that don't play well and still win, will be a very tight game

Pairc Sean was always a heavy surface and difficult to play in but like it was mentioned above, its below the level of the ground and so needs a pump system. Shouldn't be a big ask for the county pitch considering clubs have this place. It should be prioritised over flood lights any day.
Ballinamore, best surface. As for parking, I can't understand where they cannot reach an agreement with the local secondary school. If its insurance, could public liability not been taken out for that short period... few hours, surely it wouldn't cost a fortune?
Never liked Drumshambo, don't get me wrong the facilities and pitch is second to none. but on the calmest day of the year its still windy in Drumshambo due to the pitch been so high.

Attended both games this weekend. Terrible conditions and dangerous for players which was embarrasing for a county ground.
Mohill showed the experience in the end despite playing against a huge breeze in the second half. Keith Beirne streets ahead again and showed why hes the best in the county. Mohill defence very solid. Fenagh have a good core of youth that will come good in years to come but the O'rourkes need to play as a team. Ryan marked out of it and they struggled to get him or Riordain on the ball. Fenagh will have there time in a few years if they keep together.
Marys v Balllinamore was a very strange game handy goal kept Bmore alive but they looked v unfit. Marys will need to up it. Exiting final ahead hopefully tg4 viewers are entertained

I've mentioned it here before but financially for infrastructure projects the county board is going to have to locate huge money. Where from is beyond me. Especially when you consider how much it cost the Roscommon county Board to re-do the pitch in Dr Hyde - Exactly what we need. (its fantastic now by the way)
New pitch/Pump and Floodlights for Pairc Sean
Fencing for around the pitch in Pairc Sean will be done
New Toilets are a must in Pairc Sean- some of whats on offer currently is disgusting for 2023.
A new sound System for Pairc Sean - Shocking standard currently
The COE needs major works which is an absolute disgrace after the money that was pumped into it relatively recently.
I would suggest that they should make one of the pitche/Spectator facillitiess up to a high standard so that you could hold a decent sized club game here. Many other counties do this.
Then Cloone or another ground will need major work to be considered as the 2nd County ground which is necessary
Joining with Ballinamore to acquire a field for parking is another option. - the Post Primary school is not an option as it is run by an outside company and not the school board of management which is a huge pity.
These will all be necessary especially with the integration of the LGFA and Camogie associations so the County Board should try and get ahead of the problem early.

Ballnamore was probably the worst surface of a pitch in the county. To much sand in it and was like concrete if the the weather was good for a few weeks and in bad weather it was just sticky mud

Where are you planning on getting the money for a new pitch, pump system, fencing, floodlights, new PA system - easily going to cost half a million euro.
Upgrading cloone do you mean the pitch that would be €100-150k or do you mean a new stand aswell that would be another half a million euro.
And you want to buy a field in ballinamore easily €200k at least. especially that close to the town.
That's a cool €1.35 million (being very generous with my estimations as well) . Get the cheque book out!
This CB couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery let alone a million euro development.
They have to fundraise every year just to keep the lights on. €170k was the total hit after last Januarys fundraiser. Your mad if you think we can fundraise for all your ideas.
Focus on resurfacing Pairc sean that is all we need at the minute. They wasted enough money on the centre of mediocrity in Annaduff. Any money we have should be spent on coaching not facilities.

Without a pump system resurfacing is a complete waste of time and money. Having said that. That is probably what the CB do

The usual Leitrim gaa followers showing little intelligence senior championship semi finals played a day ago and they don't have the capacity to discuss the games only talk about 2 county ground options that a 5 year old knows about.

Half a million euro would be conservative... Roscommon spent c700k on a new pitch, drainage and fencing etc over 5 years ago. You'd be doing well to keep costs under a million if you wanted floodlights as well. As for Cloone it might be worth spending a few euro on it but I think anything more than a new pitch would be a waste of money. A new pitch at Pairc Sean has to be the priority, I can't remember anything major done with the pitch in over 30 years... it's long overdue. The regional sports campus that's planned at the back of Pairc Sean will surely be of great benefit to the GAA also.

If your wearing the right boots, it better to play on than the vast majority of surfaces in Leitrim. Doesn't drain the legs of you like Pair Sean and Cloone.

If it wasn't important it wouldn't be discussed. The quality of the playing surface is of critical importance to the playing of football games. Therefore the discussion of the state of Páirc Seán follows on perfectly logically from talk about the games. Shocking post from you to malign the intelligence of the posters here on that basis.

Watched the Mohill game last night mohill we're lucky t come away with the win should've been beaten in Norma time Fenagh had several chances to win but handling skills and bad decisions let them down at the last minute they were also on the attack when the ref blew up at full time ,mohill were well deserved of there win in extra time ,they had a stronger bench to bring on
